But they only collect data about you to offer you a better service, right?
I've always said that letting companies collect data about you only weakens your bargaining power.

Delta Air Lines is using AI to set the maximum price you’re willing to pay

On weekend I managed to connect all my selfhosted services that support it to the #Keycloak #SSO (single sign on).
Namely #Mastodon #Peertube #NextCloud #FreshRSS #Matomo and #grafana
Why to bother with such complication for apps serving only a couple of users?
First it's quite easy nowadays.
And second, because I want to get rid of passwords and just use #passkeys .
This is one of many examples showing that good apps should just focus on one task and just use standards to cooperate with other apps focusing on other tasks.
Peertube for example focuses on videos, not user management. I am very OK that they don't support passkeys, because they implemented OpenId Connect standard to allow me use Keycloak for better login options.
On the other hand, I am quite sad that SSO is often the one feature, that is proprietary and reserved only for paying customers. SSO is not for huge corporations anymore. It's also usefull for us, selfhosters with couple of users.

I need y'all to understand: when these freaks finish turning US Soccer and the NWSL into explicitly anti-trans leagues, they will turn their eyes to the PWHL, which also doesn't have a trans policy. This is why we need to force the PWHL into making one NOW that's inclusive.

Do you post in more than one language?
Mastodon's web interface now automatically detects which language you are posting in and suggests switching to it in the posting language indicator.
For example, if you have your posting language set to English but you start writing in French, the language indicator notices this and starts glowing yellow. Also, French appears at the top of its language list

I've only had this thing for six days so I'm learning on the run. I've given a little overview of how it works, play a few chords and talk about the problem I'm having finding really good pics that are comfortable and that sound good.
This has been recorded on the phone.
Some people prioritize setting up a site and making logos rather than working with the community to address the issues using what we often refer to as "responsible disclosure".
(it's some ad for a talk coming in a few weeks which they insist will reveal something bad about HTTP/1)
I'm assuming this is limited to situations where front-end talk to back-end servers which allows an attacker to insert unauthorized HTTP requests after first sending a malformed HTTP request.
Apparently it affects companies using a certain CDN as well.

"Another farmworker, Gabriel, who came out to speak, brought a backpack full of yellow envelopes containing all his tax documents over the decades.
“These are my taxes. I have been paying my taxes for 19 years, without rights,” he said, as he pulled out each envelope and threw them on the ground in front of the podium. “I’ve been doing this year, after year, after year. For a promise that I would get my citizenship, this is my testimony that I am not a criminal. We are not criminals.”"
